Do you have problems / questions with / about deployment to AWS or Heroku?
I found the process of deployment web apps to these platforms not very linear and decided to write a short free book on this topic. I have some draft plan but I would like to hear from others if you guys have some questions or problems, maybe you could share your own experience?
Thanks!
Yeah, AWS is not the easiest platform to work with. I love it because you can implement pretty much any business use case, but it takes a long time to deploy anything.
...
Oh, that's cool!
Thanks a lot!
Have you solved these problems? (it seems to me not everything can be solved - like region restrictions :( )
Most times a feature that is not available in a region is something new (like booting from an encrypted EBS) that you have to work around within existing features. Eventually it gets rolled out. Often best is to wait a bit longer.
We write what we find as we stumbled upon it on the DjaoDjin blog (http://djaodjin.com/blog/tags-technical.html) and integrate solutions in the deployment tools (https://github.com/djaodjin/drop/).
Right, got it.
Thanks!
If you're using Heroku, check out https://render.com
I'm not affiliated with them in any way; I've just recently started using them and it's a great / simple / cheap alternative.
Hi,
thanks for mentioning this service. Heroku is not a big trouble, actually. But in some cases there still can be some problems.
The pricing is pretty much the same, for web apps.
yea so many problems for beginners like us. Deployment is one of the hardest and the funny thing is that and no one is trying to solve it.
For most of my apps I prefer Google Firebase or Microsoft Azure, that is mainly because deployment and debugging AWS is a headache. I recommend Microsoft Azure for my Enterprise clients, and for quick and easy development I prefer Firebase.
But I don't like to read books about deployment stuff, I prefer some online step-by-step or brief explanations (not more than 2,3 pages)
Along with database you also have firebase functions(equal to aws lambda functions). We just deploy the function with firebase command, its an easy task.
This is interesting! Thanks!
Yeah and having big problems with Amazon S3 with Django.
A headache and I think I am about to quit
about building things. 😞😞😞
No way! What problems are you experiencing? Maybe a crowd’s mind can help right now.
